1983 Pearson 303

I’ve had her for four years - never any problems. She is an older boat with minor, expected cosmetic stuff. She’s easy to sail, has good bones and a good engine. The skeg hung rudder makes for a stable, responsive sail. She has a Yanmar 2GMF diesel - about 1100 hours. There’s a strong anchor with plenty of rode. An Origo two burner stovetop. Possible upgrades would be a traditional head (for cruising). She’s economical and comfortable to cruise or liveaboard/day sail. The ac/dc fridge will actually freeze and draws very little juice from the batteries when you’re at anchor. There are two airconditioners included - keeps the berth cool even in August. - Her new owner should look at bottom paint within the next year. I have an uninstalled stainless dodger frame onboard, and a couple of dome salon lights that need installed as replacements. She is currently in a boatyard. I pulled her out of the water for safety sake when I left the area. I realize anybody buying a boat will need to have her hauled. This one is already hauled and ready to inspect. I’m good to communicate via email, text, or call. Thanks.
